BELKIN(8)			   NUT Manual			       BELKIN(8)

NAME
     belkin - Driver for Belkin serial UPS equipment

SYNOPSIS
     belkin -h

     belkin -a UPS_NAME [OPTIONS]

	 Note

	 This  man  page  only	documents  the hardware-specific features of the
	 belkin driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE
     The belkin driver is known to support the Regulator Pro  525  (F6C525-SER).
     Other similar models such as the 425 and 625 should also work.

     The Trust UPS and older Belkin units are not supported.

     This  driver  only supports serial connections. If your UPS has a USB port,
     please consult the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) to see  which  of  the
     USB drivers you should use.

EXTRA ARGUMENTS
     This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).

BUGS
     There  are dragons lurking within the protocol to this UPS. I have one that
     essentially behaves like a glorified power strip due to some invasive prob-
     ing on my part. Don't mess with it directly.

	 Note

	 The driver doesn't go anywhere near these character  sequences,  so  it
	 won't zap your UPS. I only mention this here as yet another reminder of
	 the perils of closed hardware.
